The incidents experienced by F\u00fatbol Club Barcelona<\/strong> at the Estadio de Vallecas during matchday 3 of LaLiga have once again put the focus on an uncomfortable debate: the passivity of LaLiga<\/strong> in the face of episodes of insults, threats, and object throwing against footballers.<\/p>

What Frenkie de Jong, Alejandro Balde, and Lamine Yamal suffered, according to images broadcast by \u201cEl d\u00eda despu\u00e9s\u201d<\/a><\/strong>, goes beyond the anecdotal: it reflects a structural problem of \u201csports Fair Play\u201d<\/strong> that, allegedly, does not receive the same attention as other priorities of the organization chaired by Javier Tebas<\/strong>.<\/p>

LaLiga<\/strong> acts with enormous speed when it comes to pursuing audiovisual piracy<\/strong>, scrutinizing every last euro in Financial Fair Play<\/a><\/em><\/strong> or questioning player registrations in the market<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

However, when it comes to protecting the physical and moral integrity of footballers<\/strong>, the response is slow, lukewarm, or directly non-existent. Why so much firmness in economic matters and so little forcefulness in sports matters? Shouldn’t \u201csports Fair Play\u201d be at the top of the priorities?<\/p>

The official LaLiga statement<\/h2>

After the serious incidents, the only official statement from LaLiga regarding what happened in Vallecas was the following:<\/p>

\u201cThe National Professional Football League sends a letter of complaint each week to the Competition Committee of the RFEF and to the Anti-Violence Commission with those chants that occur in football matches that incite violence or have insulting or intolerant content.<\/p>

 <\/p>

These chants are included as prohibited and therefore punishable behaviors, both in the RFEF’s Sports Disciplinary Code and in the Legislation against violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport.<\/p>

LALIGA, through its LALIGAVS platform, collects reports, suggestions or requests from fans who attend matches, in order to contribute to the fight against violence in stadiums.<\/p>

 <\/p>

In addition, for years, LALIGA has been requesting more powers to be able to fight against this scourge.<\/p>

\u201d<\/p> <\/blockquote>

In said report, LaLiga only states that \u201cin the 64th minute of the match, a half-full plastic bottle was thrown\u201d which did not hit anyone. Everything else is reduced to listing the preventive measures adopted by Rayo, from posters to messages over the PA system, with no explicit reference to the insults or threats captured on television.<\/p>

And not only does it ignore what happened, the statement does include and highlight that:<\/p>

“It should be especially noted that the aforementioned events occurred only from the area described, with the rest of the local fans present in the stadium maintaining appropriate behavior.”<\/p> <\/blockquote>
